For those that are interested, Issue 20 just launched with reviews of Primordia, Phantasmaburbia, Middens, and more, as well as interviews with John Clowder and Sekaru. This is the official December issue.

Next, we'll be doing a special Christmas issue and some of the games that have been sent to me here will be in it!

I have to say the mag looks far better then it used to, i tried reading the issues before issue 19 and wasn't a big fan.

New designer. Glad you're liking it. :)

Issue 20 is the first one with an overall score.

EDIT: It's also the first one on a monthly schedule...one we're breaking for Christmas to try something new.

On the 23rd, if all goes well, we're going to release what I can only call a "Christmas Review." It'll be a once a year (or one-off, perhaps) issue where we take a bunch of games from this year and review them and that's it. Sort of like a small-ish buyer's guide for people with Christmas money burning holes in their pockets.

And then we'll be moving to the monthly schedule again with the next formal issue, Issue 21, hitting in late January, which will be the one you'll be in. :)

I am currently developing a Zombie Survival RTS. Funny how many people have started down that path and it seems have abandoned the concept. I would be happy to share some background on the project and where it's headed if you would be interested. As we get closer to Kickstarter launch I'll be posting an additional thread as well. If you would like the current skinny on the project you can go to http://www.zombica.com. We are posting to the site as progress is made and I'm also blogging on Twitter.

Hey! It's a lovely work you're doing but I've seen some problems with the design. Mainly readability issues but there are other stuff as well. If you'd like I can give your designer some tips, just tell him to contact me if he wants to.

Just for the record, our designer is a her.

If you could private message me some of the places you saw readability issues, it would be greatly appreciated. We all have pretty good eyesight and don't have any issues reading it, but we understand that isn't the case for everyone and are more than open to suggestions on how to make it more readable for everyone.

I went back and checked and I'm not really sure where you're talking about. If you read this, can you point me in the direction of that so we can get it fixed?

This is the offending area. It's not *impossible* to read, but it doesn't stand out much against the background and thus creates a little bit of eyestrain. Maybe a white or black border around the text would help.

Oh, I see. I took a look on my other monitor and it definitely sticks out more, but the gamut of my main doesn't seem to get any brighter. Otherwise, the site actually has a pretty easy-to-use design and is quite pretty to look at (the orange complements the blue in the header card and links).

I also shot you an email about my game. I am very grateful for the opportunity!

Yeah, I'll talk to our designer and see what we can do to fix the readability in that spot.

Hello johnki. We made a simultaneous launch for our second game 99 Spirits on IndieGoGo and Steam Greenlight. It would help a lot if you can make a mention of it on your magazine and to your friends who would be interested in Japanese style games.
